DWC Blog

I missed the DWC event last May due of my colds…sad to miss them! I am glad that it was a success.

(Sorry this blog was not published since June).

We need your help to provide information about Deaf women leaders in CT who were actively involved in the deaf community in past like 1900s to 1960s. I found it difficult to gather facts about CT deaf women due to lack of documentations or inadequately oral history. Please remember that the leadership should be based on volunteerism, not on “salary” or “paid”; and their causes may be recognized like making something happen or ablity to influence any change in the deaf community.

There are several names in mind like Rae LaRosa, Doris Berman, Anna Fronczek, Mary Babb or a first deaf Hartford club president (I couldn’t remember her name). Please email me with names if you remember and a brief history about why you think she was a leader. We will plan writing about this for upcoming Summer issue.

Look forward to hearing from you.

I am very excited to say that we, the members of DWC can use blog. I wanted to thank Cassie for setting it up and teaching me how to use it. I found it very interesting and easy to use it. I hope we will use it often and share the news because we must keep up with this new technology tool. I hope you will use it, too.

As you notice the poll for which topic you vote for our next DWC gathering on May 5th, we would like to get together to discuss one major subject. Possibly we will gather information depending on topic plus some video tapes if available. We have several videotapes about health if you are interested. Please send us any idea or suggestion. We are looking forward to seeing you there.

June, Alice and I agreed to provide a blog section to share news, updates and any issues relating to women. This blog is open to members only who are able to write and post their stories for sharing. I know it is not easy to maintain the blog almost everyday but we would like to give it a try and see how you enjoy sharing your blogs with us.

This is an experimental section. Please feel free to share your ideas about how to improve this section, and the web site as whole.

Happy blogging!
